I do not stay up if I can help it. Whether I can get to sleep is another matter entirely! hmm

To me it is another day so I go to bed when I fancy and now that I have a TV in my bedroom I can watch any programme whilst being cosy and comfortable.

No, I have a ritual which I love. Bed before midnight, radio on , light out , come midnight Radio 4 announcer just wishes everyone a happy new year , it brings back memories of childhood

I usually stay up but am in bed shortly after. Last year I spent Christmas and New Year with my brother and his wife, and they went to bed at 10.30, leaving me to toast the new year on my own!!

Do you stay up for 'the bells' at new year? Since I am rarely in bed before midnight most nights, I could see the new year in every night! When I was younger, my mum made a dinner at midnight including steak pie followed by peaches and cream. This was common among families we knew. Nowadays, my hubbies just opens a Newbottle of rum and we then toast to it. Settle to watch TV and then to bed around 1am
